Tbh while and after watching the video, I wasn't sure if the whole thing isn't just a parody of AI companies.
They've had astroturfers promoting it across social media today including this mad lad "$999/mo marketing team in a box " https://www.reddit.com/user/thelandofficial
What is this referring to?
I’ve been using it the past few days. It’s both magical and terrible. They do their own terminal management so you’re fighting env issues that make no sense. It somehow spawns a terminal that can’t find my installed version of node, so then it asks me to brew install one, but will this now screw up my system or no? It’s an uncanny valley moment where it’s close, but also not really there. Hopefully the team can quick…
> somehow spawns a terminal that can’t find my installed version of node That's weird. It just runs my usual zsh profile files. Have you got some very customised shell init?

I just got done with my first session in Windsurf. It's mostly magical, but the terminal implementation leaves something to be desired. That doesn't seem like it would take much to fix though. Setting that aside, this thing is insane. I spun up a Django project/app and was able to accomplish in about 5 minutes what would normally take over an hour. The way it seamlessly edits multiple files in unison is unbelievably…
Any idea how Codeium is able to provide users with unlimited access to Sonnet and 4o for only $10 per month? I can easily blow through $10 in API credits from either of them. Is that price going to be sustainable?
After about an hour with Windsurf, I find myself frustrated with how it deals with context. If you add a directory to your Cascade, it's reluctant to actually read all the files in the directory.
I understand that they don't want to pay for a ton of long-context queries, but please, let users control the context, and pass the costs to the user.
It's very annoying to have the LLM try to create a file that already exists, it just didn't know about it.
Also, comments on the terminal management reflect a real issue. One solution is to expose the Cascade terminal to the user, letting the user configure the terminal in a working state, so that it has access to the correct dependencies and the PATH is properly sourced.
for the cynical folks, Codeium has been publishing blogposts with me on AI product thinking and its been remarkable to watch as someone with no vested interest: https://latent.space/p/enterprise yes, they started with "another copilot", and had one of the best years in code for enterprise ai this year. here they are starting with "another cursor". see the pattern?
Wow, so they raised 65 million dollars and yet I never heard of them. Crazy how much funding there is in the space
